Uncle Nearest Straight Rye begins with rye whiskey sourced from Canada. Then it's aged further in New York (four years minimum) before a final trip to Tennessee where it rests in used Uncle Nearest whiskey barrels for further maturation. The barrels are then tasted and blended by Master Blender Victoria Eady Butler.

Tasting Notes

"Heady aromas of fresh green apples, sweet spring herbs, and vanilla caramels fill the nose. The palate is dense, yet individual flavors from the nose present individually, backed up by apple mint jelly, rich toasted rye bread, baking spices, thyme, and tarragon. A rich layer of creamy vanilla coats the palate and carries the other flavors into a long finish. "
